Soujorner Truth

I really loved this piece and I keep coming back and thinking about it throughout not only our class periods, but at random times throughout the day. The passion behind the work is incredible and in the video we watched last week of Alfre Woodward presenting Ain't I A Women was remarkable. She really emphasized the yearn for acceptance and it struck a chord with me. It truly shows that the topic of women is much broader than we realize. Race, background, orientation, etc. There are so many intersecting components that make up each woman. We shouldn't just honor upper-class white women, we have to take all women, everywhere into account. Not only that, but we should never believe that men are stronger. Women create men! Woo! We're just as strong if not much stronger. The work is absolutely beautiful, and the way Woodward gave her speech was inspiring.
